The Mother of all Cactus Needles
Oct 10, 2021
Wow, those are some humongous sharp needles on this cactus!
When I checked out from the store with this deadly plant, the cashier oulls the cactus from the shopping cart and gets one of the pins stuck right in her finger.
It was just sort of caught there with the other end hanging out a couple of inches from her finger.
A little shocked and not sure what to say, I just sort of stumbled “Oh, Are you okay? I so sorry!”
She said she was and reached over and plucked the needle out holding her hand limply in the other.
On the way home then, this guy says to me, “you better not sit on that thing.”
Ah yeah, you’re not kidding! ;-)
